I like how unbothered yet concerned the empress is. She gives off a dignified and caring persona, fitting as a justified female lead. She's not perfect, as she's also portrayed with flaws and weaknesses—still, she undoubtedly shines.
I hate the emperor—might be because of the gradual effect of dark magic alongside his insecurities. He already shown a red flag after Daphne got a miscarriage. The recent chapter with his mother hinted his inferiority complex, I could say he was actually lowkey letting his insecurities eat him slowly since that day. You really wouldn't seek a prostitute for the mere reason that your wife cannot handle another pregnancy. To think you were a lovely couple shows how shallow it was.
It made me realize how the emperor wanted to be someone he cannot. To prove himself to his dead father and brother. He thought that having a wife who cannot bear a child or heir, will hit him in a different way. In conclusion, he's fighting with himself, digging his own grave and having exploited by Leo and Rosetta. A stupid man's weakness will always be his ego.
Mephis was right all along with that painting.
I cannot wait for how things will progress with him and Daphne ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
PS. As much as I'm trying to understand that he's mentally unstable, he did create opportunities for Rosetta to actually damage his mental stability. He engaged into promiscuity. Jerk.
